Noice.
Wasnt there an Atari game that had a similar reward or money prize like this?
I seem to remember the money was taken by an Atari exec. who jumped ship shortly before the company tanked.

Binro the Heretic - 2014-09-22 I think that's the "Swordquest" series you're talking about. If memory serves, the company tanked before the series could be completed. I don't think there was any money set aside for anyone to abscond with.

Binro the Heretic - 2014-09-22 I looked it up. Atari wasn't giving away money with that series, they were giving away actual TREASURES. I'm talking shit made out of gold & platinum encrusted with real jewels.
They did give out the prizes for the first two games, but seem to have been too strapped for cash to make the promised ultimate prizes, a sword & crown valued at 25,000 each.

A five year cut off date is a bunch of bullshit.

infinite zest - 2014-09-22 Yeah. Is this even legal? It's one thing to put random symbols into your show or game for the viewer or player to figure out, but to actually say it exists somewhere? I mean, in theory it would play out like It's a Mad Mad Mad (etc.) World, but in real life..
